Please do not rework Xerath

No offense Riot, but the rework is a bit too much. I'm a Gold 2 Xerath main and I find him perfectly suited where he is. His constant shift to and from locust of power is one of his main strengths as a source of mobile artillery. By reworking Xerath, he is now a weaker version of his past self. In essence, the rework is a huge nerf to Xerath and all it really does is make him more appealing and "fun" to players who don't usually play him. While making him appear to the general audience is a good idea, there are better ways to change Xerath than completely removing his old kit and replacing him with a new one. The new Xerath will have a charged long range Arcanopulse that has the same range as it would if Xerath were in his locust of power, but that is about the only good side to the new Xerath. Otherwise, his W spell will not be used if he chooses to fight with the 4 ult charges he gets. His E spell, likewise, will be entirely useless until he comes in for cleanup, but since he is too far away the chances of that happening are very rare. Finally, Xerath's new ultimate makes him unable to cast ANY spell except the four ult charges, rendering completely susceptible to any gap-closer, and absolutely no escape whatsoever from that unless he exceeds the time limit or casts all four charges. I believe that this rework, in essence, gives Xerath a lower opportunity to participate in fights and do damage as an overall long range artillery type of mage. Thank you for reading, and again, I hope that you will not rework Xerath.
